Hyperolius benguellensis (common name: Benguella long reed frog, Benguella reed frog, Bocage's sharp-nosed reed frog) is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in southern Angola and northern Botswana and Namibia,[2][3] but other sources cite a wider and more eastern distribution.[1] It is similar to Hyperolius nasutus and have been considered a synonym of that species.[2] Hyperolius benguellensis is not considered threatened.[1]
Male Hyperolius benguellensis grow to a snout–vent length of about 19 mm (0.75 in) and females to about 24 mm (0.94 in). Their body is long and slender. Tadpoles are unknown.[3]
Hyperolius benguellensis is a common frog associated with moist habitats with emergent vegetation (margins of swamps, rivers and lakes) in savanna and grassland habitats.[1] Male frogs call from elevated positions in vegetation. The call is a brief note consisting of five pulses, followed by 14 pulses at a slower rate.[3]
